Degree
Bachelor of Arts Honours
Introduction
The BA (Hons) degree programme is a general programme in the sense that students select their own minor and major subjects from the available humanities and social sciences offerings, subject to University and Faculty regulations. Students therefore in effect compile their own degree programme. It is recommended that the compilation of a student’s degree programme is done in consultation with the Faculty Officer, and where advised, with the relevant departments. Students should also consult the relevant subject regulations before they decide on their subjects. Apart from the general BA degree programme outlined in this section, specialised BA degree programmes exist for which set curricula are prescribed.
Duration of Study
The Bachelor’s degree cannot be completed in less than four (4) years of full-time study, unless a student is granted credits on the basis of studies completed elsewhere, and/or for another qualification.
The programme for a Bachelor’s degree must be completed within six years of full-time registration, unless special permission is granted for this period to be exceeded.
